SEATTLE (AP) Davidson was the outlier and that's what made the Wildcats successful. They aimed to score, playing with a fast and free attitude that led them to the Atlantic 10 Conference regular season title.

When the Wildcats got their first glimpse of the size and length of Iowa on Friday in their NCAA Tournament opener, fast and free suddenly became conservative.

"It seemed like every shot we took, every pass we made, there was length there," Davidson coach Bob McKillop said. "I've never seen our guys as tentative, as hesitant as they were."
